His treatment of light and back light is just out of this world. Very deserved of the compliment he has got. Somehow he did not disclose the method he is using? Likely a combination of PS skill and sharp eye and outstanding sense of a true photographer
Thanks for bringing that to our attention

Since the light rays are over the trees in the forground he is either capturing them like this (unlikely I think) or he could be doing manual work in Photoshop or using a photoshop plug-in. For the plug-in it could be Auto FX's Mystical lighting which gives you a ton of control over creating and positioning lighting like this. His images are also very saturated which seems to work quite well. Very nice images no matter how he does it.

I try not to spend too much time post processing my images, but seeing this technique (thanks for the links Roy and Rob) I can see I might have to while my nights away tweaking my technique.

I usually use PSE 4, but I think I will go out and get CS3 today as I finally can see a reason for some more control over my post processing. (Thats justifying it me :lol

I would like to say though that there is a fine line between photography and photo fantasy. I would describe Rarindra Prakarsa's style as too much processing to be PURE photography and falls too far into ther Photoshop realm.

Having said that though, doesn't mean I won't try a few subtle effects in the occassional image for that special image.
